I still believe the best is yet to come.... 2016 Great Strides Ambassador

And after all that we've been through

And after all we left in pieces 

I still believe our lives have just begun 

Cause now the past can be outrun

And I know you are the reason 

I still believe the best is yet to come

Has anyone ever told you "the best is yet to come"? Did you believe them? What was going on in your life when they said it?  I've always liked that phrase. I'm a fan of being optimistic and those words embodies positivity in every way. It says "even though things are great right now, they're still going to get better." The lyrics above are from a song by the band RED.

If I had to pick one song to describe the year 2015, it would be that one.

2015 was awesome. It seriously was. You can read about the first half of the year HERE. But to sum it up... I had the most amazing last semester including an internship, a executive board position in my sorority and a director position with ODU's Student Government Association.  I graduated with college with honors. I got a paid internship within a week in my field of study. I got the most adorable kitten in the world. And last, but certainly not least, I was able to start taking Orkambi, the first ever FDA approved medication to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis for nearly 20,000 children and adults in America.

I wrote a blog about Orkambi when I first started treatment (read that one HERE), but per usual, I haven't written much since. Tomorrow will be six months since my first dose. People have asked how it's going and I have to be admit, I hesitant how I should answer. Don't get me wrong, I have definitely had positive results from this medication.... but I'm not going to lie and say that it's been some miracle cure-all.
